And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake.—

Luke xi. 14 – 2

It could not have been a person that our great Master cast out of another person; therefore the devil herein referred to was an impersonal evil, or whatever worketh ill. In this case it was the evil of dumbness, an error of material sense, cast out by the spiritual truth of being; namely, that speech belongs to Mind instead of matter, and the wrong power, or the lost sense, must yield to the right sense, and exist in Mind. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, 190:20-27)
